Essex Electoral Review – Have your say
The Local Government Boundary Commission for England is asking for your views on the electoral review of Essex. The review will agree new electoral divisions across the county council.
- Do you have suggestions about where your division boundaries should be?
- Where do people in your area go to access local facilities, such as shops and leisure activities?
Felsted is currently in the Thaxted division and the results of the consultation could lead to Felsted moving into another district in Essex. It is therefore very important to have your say.
The consultation closes on 5th June 2023

Scam alert for businesses
We have been made aware that scam emails from ku.hsirap@troppus-ecivres have been sent to some businesses, service providers and organisations that are listed in the ‘Directory’ of some parish council websites in the UK, including some in Felsted.
The message claims that their business listing expires soon and they should follow options to renew, which requires banking details to be entered.
This is a scam.
Felsted Parish Council does not charge to list businesses, service providers and organisations on this website.
Please delete any emails received from ku.hsirap@troppus-ecivres – we believe that they are attempting to gather banking details from organisations under false pretenses.

West Essex virtual hospital service
We have been asked to share some news about the new West Essex virtual hospital service.
The service is delivered by several partner organisations and is part of the West Essex Out of Hospital Care Model.
The virtual hospital launched in early December 2022 and allows patients with specific conditions to be cared for at their usual place of residence, including care homes.
They receive the same treatment they would otherwise receive in hospital and it gives more choice about where they receive care.
Attached is the press release, with photos, and links to social media posts and website article.
